Join us for the Mountains of Greece Conference in Athens, October 22-24! In-person registration is full, but you can join us on Zoom. This special conference at the British School at Athens aims to shed new light on the heritage of mountain regions in Greece and explores how that heritage can best be protected for the future, in the context of the current rapid expansion of mountain tourism and development in Greece.

How can we activate the huge untapped potential for expanded engagement with history, heritage, and conservation in the mountain landscapes of Greece? How can we ensure a sustainable approach to environmental and cultural preservation?

We define heritage in the broadest possible sense, to include archaeological, botanical, and cultural heritage, encompassing not only physical sites and material culture, but also stories and images of mountain life, from antiquity to the 21st century.

The conference brings together academics, writers, botanists, conservationists, policy makers, mountain tourism professionals, and local community representatives to share their distinctive perspectives. We also aim to take a comparative approach, joining up the challenges faced by Greek mountain communities and organizations with similar challenges from other mountain regions around the world.
